Southwest Weight Room Renovation


The Southwest Athletic Department through the Minneapolis Schools secured a grant for improvements and renovation of the weight room.  The pictured area is what once was a classroom space in the south end of the weight room.

The renovation will increase the available space by  about 40%.  More space for more athletes.  The grant also includes new and renovated equipment for the athletes using the weight room.

The Athletic Department also secured a grant through the Southwest Foundation for increases in weights and equipment to meet the needs of female athletes.

According to Athletic Director Ryan Lamberty, "The renovations and improvements will support the increased needs of our students and athletes."  The number of enrolled students is increasing and the number of students involved in athletics continues to increase.
